When Johnny writes to Ponyboy, telling him to keep looking at sunsets, telling him that there's still good in this world, telling him to "Tell Dally. I don't think he knows," but Dally's dead! and Johnny's dead! And who listens to greasers anyways!

But then Ponyboy picks up a pen and starts telling Dally. Starts telling all the Dallys of the world about the good they don't know yet--that they've seen, but don't understand yet. About boys who run into burning buildings, about boys who give up scholarships to take care of their little brothers, about boys who cover for each other and take care of each other like their parents never did.

And as Ponyboy writes this story into a circle, ending with the beginning, he's fulfilling Johnny's exhortation to stay gold, to learn the meaning of the poem, to keep looking sunsets, to stay with the wide-eyed wonder of a kid at dawn. And with the cyclical nature of this story, Ponyboy is going to be 14 forever because he's in this story and this story never ends.

And Johnny--who said sixteen years ain't long enough--Ponyboy's giving him more time. Every time this story starts over, Johnny's still alive, Johnny gets another week, Johnny can struggle and fight and run and save and learn that there's still good in this world because the story keeps starting over---

*screams*

"But one night I saw Dally gettin' picked up by the fuzz, and he kept real cool and calm the whole time. They was gettin' him for breakin' out the windows in the school building, and it was Two-Bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without battin' an eye or even denyin' it. That's gallant." ~Johnny Cade (S.E. Hinton - The Outsiders)

Johnny Cade & Dallas 'Dally' Winston

from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton

submitted by @specialagentartemis who said:

The author got mad on twitter when people suggested there was something gay between them and I think that's all the evidence u need

[sleeplessgreaser]

reasons why S.E. Hinton CANNOT be trusted

I'll start:

1. She's the one who chose Matt Dillon for the role of Dally, he was the ONLY actor she decided to play a part in casting, and out of all the characters in the book he is the one who LEAST resembles his character visually

2. She claims that Two-Bit is the oldest of the gang and then later says that he's 18, meanwhile Darry is known as the unofficial leader of the gang (confirming that he is in-fact a part of it) and he's 20!!

s. e. hinton's mom being emotionally and physically abusive to her, while her dad was dying of a brain tumor while she was writing the outsiders is a lot to think about when reading the book. particularly since not only did her mother apparently destroy her writing previously but the book was published two years after her father's death but took place the year he died.
